Death and Dying Certificate Course 2007

Everyone dies, but no one is dead
Tibetan saying, here from Advice on Dying by his holiness the Dalai Lama

This course focuses on how to help the dying – before death, art the moment of death, and after death – through contemplation and meditation. The course is intensive and meant for those whose compassion and wish to help others through the final transition in life, being it clients, friends or relatives, is greater than the fear of moving into the subject.

If a large group of people is killed by natural disasters, diseases, for example epidemics, by terrorism, wars, or by accidents. An event that is brought tro your attention via news medias,
you do not have to feel powerless or disheartened, because it IS possible to reach out and help. You can help others, even someone you have never met in your life, through and after the final transition in life.

Everybody is welcome.
No pre-knowledge or experience is required.
